COMMUNICATION CONNECTORS HAVING CROSSTALK COMPENSATION NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention generally relates to the field of network communications, and more specifically to networks for crosstalk reduction/compensation and communication connectors which employ such networks. In an embodiment, the present invention is an RJ45 jack with an orthogonal. compensation network to meet CAT6A or higher performance standard. For the 3:6-4:5 wire-pair combination, the orthogonal compensation network begins in the jack nose (plug interface contact (PIC)) section, and utilizes a flexible printed circuit board in the nose section, split PIC contacts in the rear nose, and circuitry in the rigid printed circuit board to create the orthogonal compensation network.

主权项

1. A communication connector, comprising:
a printed circuit board (PCB); plug interface contacts (PICs) having plug contact mating points, said PICs being connected to said PCB; cable connector contacts; and a circuitry connecting each of said plug interface contacts from respective said plug contact mating points to respective said cable connector contacts, said circuitry including:
signal conductors between respective plug contact mating points of respective plug interface contacts and respective cable connector contacts, said signal conductors including a first signal pair and a second signal pair;a first combined mutually inductive and capacitive coupling between a first signal conductor of said first signal pair and a second signal conductor of said second signal pair; anda shunt capacitive coupling connecting said first signal conductor of said first signal pair and a second signal conductor of said first signal pair, wherein said first combined coupling is generated in part in said PICs and in part on said PCB.
